 

In the above Ghazal
Hafez mentions that he saw �Noure Khoda� or light of God, in the
�kharabat- e-Moqan�. Our research shows that �kharabat- e-Moqan�,
as Shahriar Shahriari translates it to the
�Tavern of the Magi�, is the
ancient city of Ray near
Tehran, Iran. It is amazing to realize that Bah�u�ll�h, which
is an Arabic word, would be �Noure Khoda� when translated into
Persian. Bah�u�ll�h was from the city of Noure in Iran and
received His revelation or light of God �Noure Khoda� in the
dungeon of Siachal-e-Tehran near the ruins of city of Ray.
More amazing is that Hafiz, who was born in the early 1300�s,
saw Noure Khoda while he was in Shiraz. |
